Increase feelings of Gratitude!

In the beginning of November, I challenged myself to keep a gratitude journal the entire month. I wrote down at least 3 things I was grateful for every day. Did I do it perfectly? No, if there was a day I missed, the next day I would write down my gratitude for both days. I am grateful that I don’t have to be perfect!

Here is what I learned:

• The time of day I wrote in my journal had different benefits. When I did it in the morning it put me in a positive mood to start my day.

• If I stopped and took a moment to write down what I was grateful for throughout the day, it gave me pause from rushed life, and lifted me up.

• Most of the time I did it at night. It helped me focus on the positive in my life that day. I felt happy and peaceful before I went to sleep.

  It doesn’t matter when you write in your journal. I am definitely happier and more contented by doing this for a month.

  I am going to keep doing this! I feel so much better!

• Do this for the next month. See how you feel. It is a simple practice. Give yourself grace if you don’t do it perfectly. Enjoy how you feel at the end of the month!

  Below are some techniques that helped me anchor these positive feelings!

The more senses you involve the stronger the emotional anchoring of gratitude you will experience.  Grab a bottle of Young Living’s Gratitude or Joy blends.  Put a drop in your hands.  Inhale, and visualize what you are grateful for today.  Powerful!!!
